Lawyers for Injured & Abused at Manorcare Health Services Nursing Center

ManorCare Health Services Nursing CenterMany of the problems associated with mistreatment occurring in assisted-living facilities in nursing homes are the result of a lack of trained personnel, minimal supervision, or understaffing. In these incidents, the needs of the residents are often ignored; they suffer serious injuries from a fall or develop life-threatening bedsores. Other residents wander away from the facility due to a lack of supervision.

  • Failure to Ensure Services Provided by the Nursing Facility Met Professional Standards of Quality – citation #F658 date September 27, 2018
  • The state investigators determined that the nursing home failed to ensure one resident observed for medication given via a gastronomy tube “was done according to professional standards. This failure resulted in a clogged tube and [the resident] needing to be sent to the hospital for the insertion of a new G-tube. This delay caused [the resident] to receive her medications and supplemental nutrition late.”

  • Failure to Provide Appropriate Pressure Ulcer Care Prevent New Ulcers from Developing – citation #F686 date January 30, 2018
  • The facility “failed to provide the standard of care to prevent the development or worsening of pressure ulcers for [two residents]. This [failure] has the potential to cause serious medical concerns.”

    A resident’s daughter said that her father “had not received heel protector boots that the Physician had ordered for her father until a week after they had been ordered.” During that time, the father “developed pressure ulcers on both of his heels. [The resident’s] daughter said [that on Thanksgiving Day] [the nurse] told her the dressings on her father’s heels had not been changed for three days. She said she remained concerned throughout her father’s admission that he was not receiving wound care as it had been prescribed by the Physician.”

    The investigators reviewed the resident’s medical records and pressure ulcer assessment. The records indicated that there was the “presence of a Stage II pressure ulcer to the coccyx. There was no documented evidence of any other impaired skin integrity” or mention of the developing pressure wounds on the resident’s heels.

★★★★★
Jonathan did a great job helping my family navigate through a lengthy lawsuit involving my grandmother's death in a nursing home. Through every step of the case, Jonathan kept my family informed of the progression of the case. Although our case eventually settled at a mediation, I really was impressed at how well prepared Jonathan was to take the case to trial. Lisa

After I read Jonathan’s Nursing Home Blog, I decided to hire him to look into my wife’s treatment at a local nursing home. Jonathan did a great job explaining the process and the laws that apply to nursing homes. I immediately felt at ease and was glad to have him on my side. Though the lawsuit process was at times frustrating, Jonathan reassured me, particularly at my deposition. I really felt like Jonathan cared about my wife’s best interests, and I think that came across to the lawyers for the nursing home. Eric
